Would you take a job if they asked you to follow a vegan diet?
Whatever happened to freedom of diet?
Sometimes people will agree to pretty much anything to get employment.
But what if the company you have applied to is asking you to conform to ridiculous regulations?
One person shared an email that they received from a potential future employee.
They asked the community of Reddit if this was actually something a company could base their hiring decision on.
Most of the email is blanked out but the point in question says the following:
"Our workplaces are strictly vegan. You do not have to be vegan away from work, but you do need to bring vegan lunch and plant milks to eat on site or eat lunch offsite. Can you confirm you are fine with this?"
